True on the "influencing" topic - I don't think too many of us would disagree with you there.
But in film there's a pretty big difference between Boromir's eyes being "fixed" on Frodo & Boromir leaning heavily on the boat sniffing and gasping up a storm. And if Pippin notices his behavior in the books, surely his more obvious behavior in the movies would not have gone unnoticed by all but Frodo. I think that's what
Eomer was trying to say there.
Not a scene that bothers me terribly (Galadriel's give-away does more), but I can definitly see where Eomer is coming from.
